I think this problem can be fixed by removing base line resilience and put it back on pvp gear and buff pvp power.

I loved how the system was back in 5.1 when you have 40% base resil and PvP power was the way to gem. I also liked being able to upgrade the item lvl on your PvP gear. Upgraded PvP gear was on par with Heroic PvE gear then in a Wpvp setting.

I know that I'm the minority though and that this game caters to the PvE crowd. Obviously the PvE business model is working seeing that Blizz has been losing millions and millions of subs to games like LoL that are PvP games. I think the only reason why the PvP crowd is such a minority at this point is because Blizz pretty much ran the majority of the PvP crowd off.

True, lol.

Aww, hell, there goes the pvp crowd. Nothing we can do about that, let's just focus on the dragon slayers from now on before they leave too.

Yeah it's pathetic, but there's not much we can do. Blizzard can't see the simplicity of the obvious solution, which is give everyone PvP gear (no real PvPer wants a gear grind or gap anyway) and make it the best for any PvP encounter, and simply don't allow it into PvE instances. Problem solved, easily, on both ends.

Of course you know that the general commentary here would be of the type "l2p issue" or "you can do it too!" but it's really sad when we are taken 4 expansions back in the day when world PvP was most imbalanced.

I just keep on wondering, what is the all-so-suddenly-skillful dragonslayer crowd doing on our PvP forum?

Did they suddenly start to believe in their PvP skills and though "hey I can do that, it's obviously not that hard! I don't know what kept me running away from players all these years after vanilla!"

World PvP is horrifically bad in MoP. PvE gear dragonslayers are pounding on PvP players because of the massive gear difference.

They are giving us an island that's dedicated to World PvP. If they want this thing to not suck complete balls, gear needs to change. Either put resilience back on PvP gear and reduce base resilience, or make Elite Gear the same strength as Heroic Gear. It's not like PvP is lagging behind in PvE in the skill department.
